Melanie Perry Obituary
Born in Owenton on March 8, 1960, Melanie was the daughter of the late Charlotte O'Baion Collins and James Alton Marshall. A graduate of Franklin County High School, she went on to receive her undergraduate degree from Berea College and her Master's Degree from EKU. She worked as CDE for the Fayette County Health Department and served as KADE President for one term. After working for more than 20 years, she retired early to stay home and raise her children.
Melanie attended Capital City Christian Church and Elevate Church, and served at Agape Prayer Center. She loved to participate in worship and was always heavily involved wherever she attended. A creative and talented artist, Melanie focused mainly on mixed media and watercolor. She loved people, taking an interest in everyone, and will be remembered for her tender, caring, and compassionate nature.
Melanie is survived by her husband Alan; daughters Kaitlin Keaton and Madeline Evans (Alex); son David Perry (Megan); two grandchildren, Maxwell and Eleanor Perry; an aunt, Sherry Noel; and a cousin, Jane-Allison Wandell.
A memorial service in celebration of Melanie's life will be held at Capital City Christian Church on Friday, December 29th at 1:00 pm. Visitation will begin at 11:00 am.
Arrangements are under the direction of Rogers Funeral Home. An online tribute is available at rogersfrankfort.com.

I first met Melanie over 3 years ago, I will always remember her sweet smile, great warm hugs, & her passion to worship our Lord. She was a giving soul, & she wanted to make a difference to honor our Heavenly Father. She leaves with us an empty spot in our hearts. May she rest in heavenly peace. Love, Jill
